Yes. I think he could be hammering towards a Darwin award. Perhaps a helmet at the minimum might mitigate the scone bouncing off the tarmac or fenders

Why do people do this with scooters, when bikes and seated scooters exist?

As a motorbike rider that’s crashed a couple of bikes with full gear on, I find anyone riding without gloves to be incredibly naive. The reinforced GLOVES get shredded.
But in this video, the speed, the vehicle, the lack of full face helmet or kevlar jacket. Even if you survive, a crash on this, you’re signing up for months of agonising pain and rehab.
I’ve heard they scrub your skin with a toilet brush and antiseptic to get the gravel out in hospital.

Yeah, I don’t understand why they’ve been let on main roads… dangerous for them and dangerous for drivers. Going this fast needs heavy duty gear, not just a helmet, Bike path or footpath at the same speed as a pushbike should be all that’s allowed.

If this is an adult .. needs to be behind bars
If a child , parents need consequences. Can’t put others at risk, not fair.

on the bright side he wouldn’t use a lot of public health resources, just the cost of a dustpan and scraper

Just did a quick Google Maps Street View, choosing the closest on-ramp to the WG Br (Prohasky St/service centre) and there is clearly a big sign:
NO
Pedestrians
Bicycles

Beyond This Point
On This Freeway
Except With Authority

So I’m sure that’s classified as a bicycle, technically and they’ve broken the law? Wonder what Vic Pol charge that is?

I think this guy might live near me in the Greensborough/St Helena area. There is someone who looks remarkably like him, with just as much safety gear and love for speeding recklessly around cars, often booking it down Sherbourne Rd towards Greensy station.
It’s a long way from the Westgate but a man’s gotta travel, I suppose…

It’s why all cars need dash cams. Twats like this crash and die and the blame automatically put on the driver.

Gee. I took a very small stack on my motorbike doing barely 20kph wearing cotton pants (all other gear, was a dumb summer choice), and that fucked my knee up enough that I’ve not only never been back on the bike without riding pants, but it kinda put me off riding at all.

Yearsd ago my little motorbike ran out of petrol on the bridge and I had to roll down one side (inbound IIRC) and that was fucking scary enough. This person is a madman.
Turns out my fuel cock was switched off and the engine was starved – which I found out after I pulled over at the bottom. Derp

Couple weeks ago I got fined by the cops for riding my bike without a helmet on a trail with no cars at like 15kph – and then there’s this

I’m sure they statistically must exist, but I’ve yet to see an adult on an e scooter who wasn’t a meth head.

This annoys me. I want to get an electric scooter so I can tootle sedately into work on nice days and then you see idiots like this, who risk making things more difficult for those of us who want to do things the right way.

I hate these e-bike/scooters! I’m having to pick bits of road out of so many people. I’ve seen people end up quadriplegics doing less than this. They clearly don’t think about the risk to themselves or others.
